The Amber Sword

Rising up in the mountains is a magical creature whose head is shaped with rock to create a powerful flying monster, their sheep head, with steely claws on their limbs, wings stretched more than seven meters, stone skin glittering in the cold winter sun with a slightly luminous magic symbol, and two pyramid gems, which make up the eyes of these magical creatures.

They are in fact not the most primitive stone statues, but the kind of Ruwen statues - the Ruwen statues, Brando wants the stone statues, and Tania, the competent aunt, brings him the best, which, as he said, are nothing to the Bukas, so the artisan wizards are happy to help Brando as much as possible without crossing their threshold, so that he can take back the Sky Blue gun for them.

The lions, whose empires soar in the sky, never thought that one day they would face such a battle. The dense, numb stone ghosts are rising from the mountains to the sky, and the mountains are filled with eyes, and the screams of these magical creatures flutter, coming from all sides, as if to surround them in groups. But the vultures made a clear sound, as if there was a kind of proud supervision urging these brave and fearless raptors to expand their white wings to confront their enemies, which is the symbol of the Empire, which launched an attack on their enemies dozens of times more voluntarily, like a straight silver line straight into the clouds, but then the wings scattered and sank.

The soldiers of the Empire watched this scene almost stunned, watching the fierce Empire Raptors they were proud of dissipate smoke and smoke for a while before a dry warning came from the lookout room:

“Yes... it looks like a stone ghost...”

Though there are still a hundred vulture knights standing by in the fortress, there are roots under everyone's feet at this moment, and no one goes down to the city to inform the others, because it is too late.

Stones like ghost clusters are like clouds in the sky. After swallowing up the vultures, they roam halfway through the sky like migrating migratory birds. When they arrive over the fortress, the soldiers of the Empire raise their heads in silence until the first rock falls out of the sky and smashes the city into pieces, and these people scream and react - the catastrophe is upon them. The Stone Statue Ghost was instructed by a pre-set command to divide into three parts once it entered the Fortress, divided into three giant arrows in the middle of the sky pointing in different directions, the first arrow made up of two hundred Stone Statue Ghosts pointed directly at the direction of the city wall, while the second arrow made up of three hundred Stone Statue Ghosts pointed at the inner city, leaving the largest arrow made up of all Stone Statue Ghosts heading straight to the headquarters of the Lion's Knights in the Black Sword barrier, as if they knew the place long ago.

When the Cruz knights of the walls saw two giant arrows in the sky crossing the walls without stopping, they knew what was going on.

They looked blue and iron before realizing that this was definitely a premeditated war.

The inner city is in chaos...

Soldiers who are not on duty in the Fortress District are being driven door-to-door from their quarters in the inner city, from various entertainment venues - from bars, brothels or even lovers' homes - or from street alleys in three or two, hurrying to put on their robes, put on their helmets, pick up their weapons, build or scatter to gather in the direction of the Fortress, and if in an era of glory to return, or in an era of chaos or in the last half century before and after the turmoil of walnuts, you will never see such images, when the Black Sword Barrier, even in its most lax period, has more than two thirds of the military at all times at war.

But now, for nearly a hundred years, this fortress has not experienced any war, and even the bandits of Eruin have dared not operate in the imperially ruled area, and their proud and blatant habits have long been nurtured.

The soldiers of the Empire are coming together from among the various articles. Although not worth mentioning compared to their predecessors, their last sense of honor and discipline as Imperial servicemen did not completely disrupt them into a pot of porridge. Overall, their worst response was much better than that of the aristocratic soldiers of the south of Eruin, and even worse than that of the Black Blade Regiment and the Hong Kong Guard, whom Brando had met in Ambesseur. These Rogerian soldiers, dressed in red and white camel robes, gathered under the supervision of the military sergeant, soon entered the fortress area.

It was at this time that they hit a stone statue ghost rushing from the sky.

“Look at the sky! ”

I don't know who shouted first, then the crowd of bustling reds and whites on the street slowly stopped, looked up into the air, those dense numbness black dots that made up huge arrows were dispersing, then dived, as if hundreds of stone ghosts were diving down in between.

“Stone Ghost! ”

“Martha, the Bukas have launched a sneak attack on us! ”

The crowd was surprised and stunned at first, then disturbed and uneasy, close to the beginning of the retreat, and finally, under such an awesome scream, it turned into a full-fledged race.

“Find cover! ”

“These damn, cunning witches! ”

Cruz screamed in panic, trying to find a place where they could provide cover, and at this moment the qualities of the Imperial servicemen were revealed. They were not frightened to buzz like flies, or to escape like those aristocratic soldiers in the southern part of Eruin on that day; as soon as the Cruz knights found sheltered roofs, short walls, stacked boxes or any other temporary work along the streets, they pulled out their weapons and were ready to fight back after the first wave of attacks by this unidentified air force.

With a military tradition of more than ten centuries, their enemies from all over the world, be they the air force, the navy, the monsters, the living spirit or the dead, it is no surprise that this army, which has a long tradition of passing through hundreds of wars, immediately calmed down after a brief disturbance and entered a state of imminent war under the command of the nearby Knight Commander.

If Brando saw such a scene in person at this moment, he would surely groan, both at the strength of the Cruz and at the sight of the Imperial Army as he had seen it.

After all, the empire is an empire, the eagle of Cruz, not only soaring above the sky with arrogance and arrogance.

But the tragedy of the Rogerian soldiers came from the same cause - Brando had already seen them in another era.

So the soldiers quickly saw that the Stone Ghosts dive was just an illusion, and as soon as they approached the inner city, they slowed down and landed one head on the scaly roof of the entire inner city. “What are they doing!?” The Krutz knights looked at the scene in amazement, and the air force, by definition, was their domain, and if these stone ghosts wanted to give them a frontal run on the ground, it was obviously impossible.

Their doubts were finally answered when they saw the first wizard in a robe with a staff jumping from the back of a stone statue ghost.

“Wizard…”

In the neighboring streets, every cavalier with command sees this scene and feels a little sour in his teeth, and he understands what he wants to do.

Demon Duncan was also proud to see the staring Krutz knights jumping from the back of his statue with his duck in his arms. He turned around and saw that on the nearest left roof, almost every roof had three to four wizards ready, as if in a moment, a great army of wizards had landed in the inner city of the Black Sword barrier. He turned back, and at this point, it seemed that the Cruz people below were reacting from a state of consternation, and the knights immediately commanded the soldiers beside them to kill on the roof - although he knew they could not pose any threat to him, he couldn't help but be a little nervous - what a bold thought it was to let the wizard come to the forefront and slay them face to face with the soldiers of the enemy.

Don't say that he has never heard of such warfare before, even though he didn't think about it, the so-called wizard is naturally as far away from danger as possible.

However, despite his nervousness and all the sweat in his hand, he raised his staff and began to recite the spell verbally to the army of the Cruz below. The average strength of the soldiers of the Imperial Border Guard Corps is at least above the middle of the black iron. The low roof of the inner city is not too difficult for them. However, at a small moment, an Imperial soldier climbed the roof with terrain. Morgan Duncan saw the nearest soldier at a distance of not more than twenty feet. He could even see the other soldier's face, and the cold light glistening with the long sword in his hand. In his heart, he was willing to throw 10,000 spells prepared directly at the guy, but at the last moment, he was still hard to move away from his target and lift his staff to perform a spell against the Imperial soldier clustered in the street.

“Laws of stillness, procrastination, confinement! ”

Demon Duncan shouted, as if an invisible wall had fallen in the direction he was pointing at, the air was shaking slightly, and all the imperial soldiers in the street were immediately trapped there as if they were demons. At the same time, about one third of the hundreds of wizards who descended with the Stone Ghost completed the same control spells, while the other third failed because they were too nervous, and another third couldn't help but throw the spells at the nearest few soldiers.

But that's one third of the success, and it puts almost half of the inner city's streets under spell control for a moment.

After performing his spell, Duncan turned his head in a sweat and saw that the soldier who climbed had already been slapped by the stone ghost. He was relieved and hidden a sense of pride in his heart - because he knew that at least he was the first wave of witches to throw spell under this tactic, and by doing so, he could get rid of his apprenticeship and step on the ranks of official witches.

The inner city is in a special silence of death, as if it were locked up in time - the imperial armies that gathered in the streets and quickly lost room to fight back under the control of the wizards, not that they had never thought to fight back, but that the formation was so intensely exposed to the magical blow that it was conceivable that, almost at the first moment, they lost more than two thirds of their hands. Next, the wizards needed only one uniform to take out the leaky fish, during which the Cruz sporadic group struck remotely, but with little effect under spell protection, and the Imperial Knights formed a commando team, protected by hundreds of stone statues of the wizards, with no trees built, instead a self-throwing net was taken prisoner.

Of course, there are wizards in the empire, but three or two wizards are basically unlikely to be rivals of hundreds of assembled wizards, who soon realized after sporadic counter-attacks that the momentum had gone, either surrendering with their hands up or simply finding a place to hide and seek self-defense.

As if only momentarily, the Black Sword barrier lost most of its support.

……

The head of the Black Sword Barrier Vulture Knights, Maria, stood in front of a landing window in her office and was silently sending away the stone ghosts in the sky, while on the other side of his sight the Vulture Knights headquarters had long been a mess. Built about two centuries ago, this vulture fortress was tragically not built to the standards of this era, or to the extent that it was magically protected, and the take-off passage of the vulture cage was exposed directly to the Air Force tradition about two hundred years ago, because everyone understood that the enemy facing the Black Sword barrier was the Eruin, and that the weak Aaron Knight Air Force of the Eruin could not pose any threat to this fortress.

Yet it is this traditional perception that strikes it almost devastating.

Maria has not yet figured out which goddamn stone ghosts are coming, and he was sending a subpoena to find out what was going on over the wall, and then ordered some of the knights to prepare for the ascent, but he didn't expect the attack to come so fast. Before the first warm-up vulture knights could get their beloved vultures out of their cages, the black clouds in the sky had flown over the Knights, and everything that followed was a nightmare, an attack that Maria had never heard of before.

Stone ghosts began to dive, then cast a flash of crystals, most of which hit the gateways of the vulture cage, a small part of which hit the warehouse of the Knights, and then everything that happened, as he now sees, the entire gateway of the vulture cage has been completely destroyed, with about 160 vultures and more than 30 knights sealed inside, and it's hard to tell how much can be saved. As for the warehouse, Maria looked at the two great pits where she could see them.

For a moment he couldn't even say a word.

At this time, outside the ruins of the Knight's Gate, he was pointing his sword at Brando's Roark, apparently unaware that such a wonderful thing had happened in the fortress behind him, but even then, his face didn't look so good to see there. On top of his head, the soldiers of the Empire were fighting violently against the Stone Ghost, the wizards in the fortress had joined the battle, and the long archers and crossbowmen had begun to line up, arguably barely stabilizing the situation. Behind him, more than a hundred Land Dragon Knights, dressed in armor, had raised their long guns, and the triangular flags on the long guns were flying in the wind, as if they were a sea of fire and red.

The dragon is restlessly adjusting its footsteps to the uninterrupted passengers outside the gates of the city, as if the knights would lean out of the nest with a single signal.

But at this moment, Roark doesn't feel safe at all.

Because in his view, Brando was approaching himself step by step, and the Count was alone with a sword, yet the momentum seemed as if it had not fallen in the wind at all, and he was alone, facing the Knights of the Cruz, with a light cloud, as if these knights, described in the history of the past, had long been blind to his eyes. Roark had seen such a faint look, and when the bear warrior of the Principality of Black Crow struck at that man, he stood proud of the scene, almost always in front of him.

Was it only 60 years before the Eruites had another sword like this?

Roark was sweating cold and suddenly thought of another possibility.

Behind Brando, Metisa was looking behind her lord, who silently called out the unicorn and turned over her horse, while White City pioneer Tiger Sparrow, Flo and others naturally lined up behind her to list the battle formation and prepare for the tail attack.

But it was at this time that Brando turned back and said, "Metissa, you go to the Imperial Squad and save the refugees. ”

“Lord. ”

Brando did not answer her, but said to Charles, "Charles, you have the walls. ”

“No problem.”

Then Brando turned around and the Empire Sword Roark was launching an assault on him.

“Attack me, dragon knights!” Roark shouted.

The next moment, he won't be able to make such a big noise, because he's already seen Brando split in front of him.

He glanced at Brando as if he were a casual courtroom walker, walking around from him from left to right, and both Brando raised their swords simultaneously - without any tricks, holding the long sword slowly forward, as if even the little hairy children who had begun swordsmanship could easily escape. Roark also, without exception, lowered his head and tried to distinguish between ‘the two’ which was who Brando really was.

But he had just bowed his head and a scene had happened outside his soul. He clearly saw that he had dodged the other sword, but he bowed his head and saw that the blade was still in his chest.

“It's impossible!” Roark's mind had just emerged with a slight pain in his chest, a long mouth pulled out of his armor, only feeling dark in front of him and his knees kneeling almost uncontrollably on his knees.
